The IBM Rational® Functional Tester Extension for Terminal-based Applications is an Eclipse plug-in designed as a terminal emulator for hosting 3270 (IBM zSeries®) and 5250 (IBM iSeries(TM)) terminal-based applications. This extension tool is built explicitly for Rational's advanced automated functional and regression testing tool, IBM Rational Functional Tester. The IBM Rational Functional Tester Extension helps teams automate the testing of their terminal-based applications with the same tool they use to test their Java(TM) and Web-based applications.
Highlights of this release include:
Keyboard remapping of terminal sessions
New support for character attribute testing
New support for UNIX® VT100 terminal protocol
New support for UNIX VT100 DBCS code pages
Compatibility with IBM Rational Functional Tester V6.1.1 release
This improved process and productivity is supplemented by Rational Functional Tester's integration and relationship with the other tools in the IBM Rational Team Unifying
Platform®, which include:
IBM Rational RequisitePro®
IBM Rational ClearQuest®
IBM Rational TestManager
This integration facilitates team communication and asset-focused traceability required to ensure timely completion of quality-driven development projects.
